[sdiy] ASM2-EX

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

Laurie and all,

Wow, people actually listen to what I say, could be scary. I mentioned
trapezoidal integration at work the other day and people went a scattering.

I have had experience with a Synthacon in the 80s and it was a lot of fun
and I enjoyed the sound. The resurfacing of the filter at Ken Stones' CGS
has stimulated interest in it and it seems to have gained a large following.
Might want to go to the CGS Yahoo group or scan the synth-DIY archives to
find out more.

Anyways, the reason that I suggested the Synthacon filter is be cause of
it's uniqueness. You get LP, HP, BP and with some creative mixing something
similar to an all pass/phase shifter (I personally haven't done this but
have read about it multiple times). I think that it would be something that
people really into tweaking the sounds could warp out with. Much more than
with traditional filters.

Best of luck with the new board!
Jay S.
